Deepest Blue Posts: 826 Jan 8 05 3:37 AM	It's gotta be Caldonia!!!! The song was actually recorded by Woody Herman first as Louis gave his wife Fleecie Moore the composer credits, but I gather there was a divorce or something, and then she stuck it to him and then gave the tune to Herman.

Name at least three, but one of them was a vocalist, so that name is gonna have to be there.
